New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the Centre of stopping all the welfare schemes initiated by the Aam Aadmi Party government. The AAP chief said that the Centre and the Prime Minister's Office were not letting the Delhi government function.

"All welfare schemes like ration, water, electricity are being stopped." Kejriwal said for the past three months, the Centre has been using the agencies such as Enforcement Directorate, Central Bureau of Investigation, Income tax Department, Delhi Police, and also the Lieutenant Governor, Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officials to create hurdles for the AAP. He also claimed that Delhi government officials are being "threatened" to keep their four-month-old strike on.

Notably, the officials have not been attending meetings with Delhi ministers after Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash alleged that he was hit by AAP leaders. "The strike is being orchestrated by the PMO and coordinated by the L-G (Anil Baijal)," Kejriwal said while addressing the media.

The Delhi CM added that the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Branch have filed a total of 14 cases against AAP ministers as well as their relatives since February 2015. “Cases have been registered against me, (deputy chief minister) Manish Sisodia, (minister) Satyender Jain. I want to know what happened to all these cases.”

"No one has been arrested in these cases. Why don't central agencies first arrest us in such cases? The only motive is to stall the AAP government's work," he said. He further claimed that an attempt was being made to "defame" AAP leaders.

"... every day a new case is being registered against us," Kejriwal alleged. "The PMO and the Centre are unleashing the lieutenant governor, IAS officials and agencies like the CBI, ED, the Income Tax Department and the Delhi Police on us to stall the government's work," he added.

He also spoke about the achievements of his government in education and medical sectors, saying that people had begun to question BJP-led governments in other states. The CM alleged that the CBI had begun probe into mohalla clinics.

The CM went on to say that Delhi government officials were being "abused openly" and "harassed" for contributing to the AAP government.
